Location

History

Tsukiji Station opened on 28 February 1963 as a stop on the Teito Rapid Transit Authority's Hibiya Line, becoming a Tokyo Metro station with the agency's privatisation on 1 April 2004. Located beneath the Tsukiji district of central Chūō ward, it sits only about 150 metres from the former Tsukiji fish market site and a few blocks from Tsukiji Hongan-ji. PASMO use began on 18 March 2007, and on 17 March 2018 the station began handling transfers with the Yūrakuchō Line at Shintomichō Station, roughly two minutes' walk away. Departure melodies were introduced on 7 February 2020, with track 1 using "All Mighty" by Hiroshi Shiotsuka and track 2 "Shiosai" by Naoya Fukushima.

Notes

Tsukiji Station was one of the sites of the 1995 Aum Shinrikyo sarin attack on the Tokyo subway, an event that produced many casualties and remains in the station's modern history record.
